A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了巴黎的几家小型博物馆，包括它们的藏品特色、开放时间、参观时长和费用等信息，旨在为读者提供关于这些博物馆的详细介绍和参观指南。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“Museum of the History of Medicine”部分中的“Open time:2:00 pm—5:30 pm, Monday to Saturday (Closed on Thursday)(周一至周五下午2:00至5:30开放（周四闭馆）)”可知，游客可以在除周四外的周一至周五的下午参观这个博物馆。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“Museum of Fairground Arts”部分中的“Charge: €18.8—Adults；€12.8—Children from 4 to 11 years old；Free—Children under 4(成人€18.8；4至11岁儿童€12.8；4岁以下儿童免费”。)”可知，一个成人带着一个6岁的儿童参观这个博物馆应该支付的总费用是成人票价加儿童票价，即€18.8+€12.8=€31.6。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“Curie Museum”部分中的“In its original laboratory, Marie Curie spent 20 years at work at the height of her career. Today, the lab, preserved with some of its original equipment and archives, and its adjacent galleries tell the story of the Curie family’s impact on science and the history of radioactivity in cancer treatment.(在其原始的实验室里，玛丽·居里在她职业生涯的巅峰时期工作了20年。如今，这个实验室保存了一些原始设备和档案，其相邻的画廊讲述了居里家族对科学的影响以及放射现象在癌症治疗中的历史。)”可知，居里博物馆与物理学和放射现象有关，因此会吸引对物理学感兴趣的游客。故选A。 B My sister Jeanne and I were born only 14 months apart, but by the time we were teenagers we had lost touch. By age 19, I had moved away from our home in Wisconsin to live on my father's horse farm in Virginia. Jeanne got married at 18 and moved to Chicago. We lived separate lives, and our connection somehow ended. Fast-forward about five years. I was 24 and on a trip with my fiancé to New York City, a place I had never been. It was overwhelming. I was used to riding my horse to the comer store where everyone knew everyone and everything going on in the quiet little town of Driver, Virginia. We went to Little Italy, the Statue of Liberty, Chinatown, and several Manhattan clubs. I had never seen so many taxicabs in one spot in my life. During a day of sightseeing, we were crossing a very busy street loaded with people. Everyone was in a hurry, hustling and bustling. I had laughed at something my fiancé said, and I suddenly heard my name yelled from somewhere behind me: “Cheryl!” I froze in my steps in the middle of the road. Tears welled up uncontrollably in my eyes. I knew without a doubt that it was my sister Jeanne. I yelled back before even turning to look, “Jeanne?” It was her. “Oh my God!” I screamed, and I began pushing people out of my way to get to her. The crowd started to part—even by New York standards, we must have seemed crazy. And there we were, standing in the middle of a Manhattan street, facing each other and smiling. I later asked how she'd known it was me—she never saw me! She said it was my laugh. I wouldn't say my laugh is all that unusual, but I guess to a family member it's infectious. It hits your heart and echoes in your mind. Since that time, my sister and I have never been separated. We both moved back to Wisconsin. We talk daily. Many years have passed, and we are now in our 50s. Our meeting by chance wasn't just a sign. I see it as more of a lesson, a reminder not to lose touch with loved ones. 24. What can we infer about the author according to Paragraph 2? A. Riding was her favorite way of travelling. B. She was shocked to see the scenes in New York. C. She was a big figure in the little town of Driver. D. The sightseeing didn't leave her a deep impression. 25. The author mentions “even by New York standards" in Paragraph 4 to . A. compare different people's reactions B. emphasize how excited they were then C. show how crazy people are in New York D. state she has known more about the city life 26. In the author's eyes, why could her sister recognize her laugh? A. Because the street was quiet enough. B. Because it had some particular features. C. Because it stayed in her sister's memory. D. Because they were apart for only 14 months. 27. What's the best title for the text? A. Life: A Journey Full of Wonders B. Family: A Source of Happiness C. Laugh: The Most Familiar Sound D. Hometown: The Destination of Our Life 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和妹妹分开生活，断了联系。作者某次和未婚夫去纽约旅行的时候，因为未婚夫的一句话哈哈大笑，结果正巧被妹妹听到，认出了作者。后来他们再也没有分开，一直保持联系。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“We went to Little Italy, the Statue of Liberty, Chinatown, and several Manhattan clubs. I had never seen so many taxicabs in one spot in my life.(我们去了小意大利、自由女神像、唐人街和几家曼哈顿俱乐部。 我从来没在一个地方见过这么多出租车)”可推知，看到纽约的情景，作者感到很震惊。故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中““Oh my God!” I screamed, and I began pushing people out of my way to get to her.(“哦，我的上帝！”我尖叫着，开始推开挡道的人去找她)”以及“we must have seemed crazy.(我们看起来也一定很疯狂)”可推知，作者在第4段提到“即使按照纽约的标准”，是为了强调他们当时是多么兴奋。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“I later asked how she'd known it was me—she never saw me! She said it was my laugh. I wouldn't say my laugh is all that unusual, but I guess to a family member it's infectious. It hits your heart and echoes in your mind.(后来我问她怎么知道那是我——她根本没看见我！她说是我的笑。我不会说我的笑有多不寻常，但我想对家人来说它是有传染性的。它撞击你的心，在你的脑海中回响)”可知，妹妹能认出作者的笑声是因为它留在她妹妹的记忆里。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“I later asked how she'd known it was me—she never saw me! She said it was my laugh. I wouldn't say my laugh is all that unusual, but I guess to a family member it's infectious. It hits your heart and echoes in your mind.(后来我问她怎么知道那是我——她根本没看见我！她说是我的笑。我不会说我的笑有多不寻常，但我想对家人来说它是有传染性的。它撞击你的心，在你的脑海中回响)”结合文章主要讲述了作者和妹妹分开生活，断了联系。作者某次和未婚夫去纽约旅行的时候，因为未婚夫的一句话哈哈大笑，结果正巧被妹妹听到，认出了作者。后来他们再也没有分开，一直保持联系。可知，C选项“笑：最熟悉的声音”最符合文章标题。故选C。 C Generative AI must seem like a superweapon to people who aim to cause disagreement and argument online. Deep-fake videos imitate public figures. Crowds of conversational chatbots worsen conflict, and efforts to detect and relieve such campaigns remain in their early period. But can Generative AI also negotiate confict? Chris Bail, a leading expert on artificial intelligence and human behavior, and his colleagues have conducted research indicating that Large Language Models such as ChatGPT can make online conversations more productive, reduce incivility, and increase willingness to have difficult conversations across social disagreements. What’s more, they’re already seeing practical applications. Inspired by such research, Nextdoor, a community-based social-media platform that has struggled to boycott online poison, recently launched a successful, large-scale (大规模的) effort to reduce incivility. In a study recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Chris Bail and his team examined whether Large Language Models can teach people conflict-negotiation techniques on a large scale. They enlisted a large group of people with different opinions about gun control and paired them to discuss this topic with someone who does not share their view on an online chat platform the team built. After exchanging several messages on their platform, half of the research participants began to receive pop-up messages suggesting alternative phrasings for the messages they were about to send to their chat partner. These pop-ups employed GPT-3 to rephrase each post using conflict negotiation principles — without changing the opinion expressed within them. Participants had the option to send these rephrased versions of their message or ignore them. The researchers found that GPT-3 is surprisingly good at processing difficult conversations. People whose partner used the AI-generated re-phrasings described the conversations as more productive, less stressful, and expressed greater willingness to consider alternative viewpoints. 28. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs? A. GenAI can be used in wars. B. GenAI can stop online incivility. C. GenAI can be used to deal with conflict online. D. GenAI can make conversations more difficult. 29. What did Chris Bail’s team aim to do in a recent study? A. To build their online chat platform. B. To share ideas on their own platform. C. To collect different ideas about gun control. D. To test the function of Large Language Models. 30. How does GPT-3 help process difficult conversations? A. By ignoring rephrased messages. B. By making choices for the participants. C. By changing the opinions of participants. D. By expressing the messages in a different way. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. People Share Ideas on Gun Control B. A New Study About Practical Applications C. GenAI Cause Disagreement And Argument Online D. GenAI Could Make Online Conversations More Civil 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. D 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是Generate AI (生成型人工智能) 通过改变信息的表达方式，能使人们的网上对话更文明。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Generative AI must seem like a superweapon to people who aim to cause disagreement and argument online.(对于那些想要在网上引起分歧和争论的人来说，生成人工智能肯定是一个超级武器。)”和文章第二段“Chris Bail, a leading expert on artificial intelligence and human behavior, and his colleagues have conducted research indicating that Large Language Models such as ChatGPT can make online conversations more productive, reduce incivility, and increase willingness to have difficult conversations across social disagreements.(人工智能和人类行为方面的权威专家克里斯·贝尔(Chris Bail)和他的同事进行的研究表明，像ChatGPT这样的大型语言模型可以提高在线对话的效率，减少不文明行为，并增加在社会分歧中进行困难对话的意愿。)”可推知，从第一段和第二段我们可以推理出GenAI可以用来处理网上冲突。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Chris Bail and his team examined whether Large Language Models can teach people conflict-negotiation techniques on a large scale.(Chris Bail和他的团队研究了大型语言模型是否可以大规模地教会人们冲突谈判技巧。)”可知，Chris Bail和他的团队是想测试大型语言模型的功能。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“These pop-ups employed GPT-3 to rephrase each post using conflict negotiation principles — without changing the opinion expressed within them.(这些弹出窗口使用GPT-3根据冲突谈判原则来重新措辞每个帖子——而不改变其内部表达的观点。)”以及第五段“The researchers found that GPT-3 is surprisingly good at processing difficult conversations.(研究人员发现，GPT-3在处理难对话方面表现得惊人地好。)”可知，GPT3不改变帖子所表达的意见，只是改变表达的方式。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文第一段介绍网络存在分歧，争论和冲突，其余段落是围绕generate AI通过冲突沟通技术，使人们网络对话更文明。所以D项：GenAI Could Make Online Conversations More Civil(GenAI可以让在线对话更文明)最适合作文章的标题。故选D。 D Search and rescue teams are often accompanied by man’s best friend. A dog’s superior sense of smell can be of importance to finding survivors buried(埋) under fallen buildings. But now a new animal is being trained to assist search and rescue teams after an earthquake hits, and it’s the rat. These rescue rats are being trained by Dr. Donna Kean, a researcher from Glasgow, Scotland who has been working with rats for years. Kean explained why she and her colleagues at the nonprofit APOPO train rats instead of dogs. “The rats have a comparable sense of smell, and they’re just as trainable as dogs,” she said. “Their size is useful because they will be able to move through different environments that dogs just wouldn’t be able to.” At the moment, the rats are wearing homemade prototype backpacks (背包) that contain microphones, video equipment, and location trackers, and then scientists are sending these rats into mock debris (模拟的废墟). Rats would be able to get into small spaces to get to victims (受害者) buried in the ruins. “We have not been in a real situation yet, we have got a mock debris site. When we track the backpack, we will be able to hear from where the rat is inside the debris,” Kean said. “We have the potential to speak to victims through the rat.” Researchers train them on a basic series of behaviour. Training starts off in a really basic environment: a small and empty room. Then they gradually expand and increase the complexity(复杂性) in order to make it like real life. They can start adding in debris and making the training area look more like an actual collapsed building site. The training just started, and researchers still have to run training trials(实验) outside the research environment. They are working with a search and rescue group called GEA, who are based in Turkey, a country with frequent earthquakes and hoping that by next year they’ll be able to take the rats to Turkey for trials. 32. What advantage do rats have over dogs in the rescue work? A. They are easier to train. B. They have a better sense of smell. C. They are more flexible with a smaller size. D. They adapt to new environments more quickly. 33. What does the underlined word “comparable” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. impressive. B. suitable. C. unique. D. similar. 34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The process of training the rats. B. The difficulty of conducting experiments. C. The rats’ behaviour in real collapsed sites. D. The importance of the research environment. 35. What will scientists plan to do next? A. Use rats for rescue work in large numbers. B. Send rats to Turkey for field experiments. C. Carry out further study on disaster prevention. D. Develop the tracking technology to assist GEA. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。近日，来自苏格兰的科学家宣布他们正在训练一批精锐的“搜救部队”，以帮助人们寻找地震中的受难者，这些搜救成员就是我们相当熟悉的动物——老鼠，当地震发生后，它们将会穿上装有麦克风的小背包，深入地震废墟中的狭小空间，帮助受困者与外界进行交流。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Their size is useful because they will be able to move through different environments that dogs just wouldn’t be able to.(它们的体型很有用，因为它们能够在不同的环境中移动，这是狗所不能做到的)”可知，在救援工作中，老鼠的优势是尺寸更小，更灵活。故选C。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“sense of smell, and they’re just as trainable as dogs”可知，Kean的团队想要用老鼠代替狗来进行搜救工作，因为老鼠的嗅觉能力应与狗类似。故划线词意思是“相似的”。故选D。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“At the moment, the rats are wearing homemade prototype backpacks (背包) that contain microphones, video equipment, and location trackers, and then scientists are sending these rats into mock debris (模拟的废墟). Rats would be able to get into small spaces to get to victims (受害者) buried in the ruins. “We have not been in a real situation yet, we have got a mock debris site. When we track the backpack, we will be able to hear from where the rat is inside the debris,” Kean said. “We have the potential to speak to victims through the rat.”(目前，老鼠们穿着自制的原型背包，里面有麦克风、视频设备和位置追踪器，然后科学家们把这些老鼠送到模拟碎片中。老鼠可以进入狭小的空间，接近埋在废墟中的受害者。“我们还没有进入真实的情况，我们得到了一个模拟的碎片现场。当我们追踪背包时，我们将能够听到老鼠在碎片中的位置，”基恩说。“我们有可能通过老鼠与受害者对话。”)”可知，第四段的主要内容是训练老鼠的过程。故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“They are working with a search and rescue group called GEA, who are based in Turkey, a country with frequent earthquakes and hoping that by next year they’ll be able to take the rats to Turkey for trials.(他们正在与一个名为GEA的搜救组织合作，该组织总部设在地震频繁的土耳其，他们希望明年能把老鼠带到土耳其进行试验)”可知，科学家们下一步计划把老鼠送到土耳其进行野外实验。故选B。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Birdwatching is a fun hobby for many people. ___36___ They take photos and record the birds’ sounds to learn about their behavior. Prayitno Goenarto,31, is an experienced birdwatcher and wildlife photographer from Indonesia. When he was a college student, he got sick for a while. His doctor advised him to go outdoors more often. He then decided to watch birds and take photos of them. ___37___ Knowing little about birds, he labeled it as a sparrow online. Soon, someone corrected him. The bird was actually a finch.

Eartha’s Grandma had been practising yoga for more than 50 years, who could twist, bend and curl her body with ease. She could even stand on her hands and pull her body into different poses. “Eartha, your name means ‘patience’.You need patience for yoga,” said her Grandma. Like many schools in the country,Eartha’ s school held an annual yoga competition. Eartha wanted to make her Grandma proud. But she could hardly stand on one leg. Grandma returned to the kitchen.Eartha kept practicing hard. She stood straight, her arms at her sides. She moved her hands and knees, arching her back. All of these poses were easy,while the competition was certain to be harder. So she tried more challenging poses, lying on her stomach and pushing up on her hands. Her arms soon got tired and she collapsed to the floor. Eartha wandered into the kitchen. “Finished already?” asked Grandma. “It’s hard,” Eartha said. “How did you get to be so strong?” Grandma smiled. “Patience.” The next morning, Eartha felt ached and sore all over the body. Her legs hurt so badly from the poses she practiced that she even wanted to quit. However, her grandmother’s words echoed in her mind, and she held the pose for a longer time. Each day Eartha would practice anew pose, before going over the poses she had practiced the previous few days.With the date of the competition approaching, she started to feel stronger and more flexible. Her arms and legs stopped trembling. The day of the yoga competition arrived as expected. In the gym, Eartha lay on her back with her knees bent and placed her hands on the floor behind her. Everything went smoothly. Just then,so eager was she to win Grandma’s pride that her poses displayed a mix of impatience, and rigidness. Eartha fell on the mat, which cost her edge over other competitors. A bell rang, ending the first half of the competition. 1.续写词数应为150左右: 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Thinking she ruined all because of impatience, Eartha looked at the audience for Grandma. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Calm and confident, Eartha stepped on the stage for the second half of the competition. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Thinking she ruined all because of impatience, Eartha looked at the audience for Grandma. Grandma settled at the front seat, kindly smiling and waving to her. Head hanging, Eartha shuffled to Grandma with heavy footsteps.“I’m proud of you!” Grandma whispered softly. Astonished and unexpected, Eartha stared at Grandma with a bit skeptical expression. Although relieved of frustration temporarily, she was increasingly concerned about the next half. Sensing her worries, Grandma asked if she still remembered the meaning of her name. Eartha nodded, reflecting on her hard practices. Calm and confident, Eartha stepped on the stage for the second half of the competition. Completely relaxed, Eartha immersed herself in poses, letting go of anything that might distract her. So full of patience and balance was every pose that flexibility was perfectly demonstrated, which made her standout among other competitors. When she finished, the whole gym burst into thunderous applause and grandma beamed at her with unprecedented pride. Smiling back, Eartha ultimately understood the significance of patience and calmness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了艾萨所在的学校每年都会举办瑜伽比赛。艾萨想让她的奶奶感到骄傲于是艾莎和奶奶学练习瑜伽，但是动作对于她来说太难坚持，奶奶对她的忠告是要耐心的，最后艾萨参加比赛的日子到来，上半场表现不佳的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“艾萨认为她因为不耐烦而毁了一切，她看着观众寻找奶奶”可知，第一段可描写艾萨上半场表现不佳，奶奶的表现和鼓励。 ②由第二段首句内容“平静而自信的艾萨踏上了下半场比赛的舞台”可知，第二段可描写艾萨在奶奶的鼓励下顺利完成瑜伽比赛的过程。 2.续写线索： 奶奶鼓励——自信——顺利比赛——人们鼓掌——艾萨感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走向：shuffle to /walk to/approach ②爆发：burst into /burst out/outburst 情绪类 ①惊讶的：astonished/surprised /amazed ②担忧的：concerned/worried/anxious 【点睛】[高分句型1] Sensing her worries, Grandma asked if she still remembered the meaning of her name.(运用了if引导的宾语从句和现在分词作状语) [高分句型2] So full of patience and balance was every pose that flexibility was perfectly demonstrated, which made her standout among other competitors.

B My sister Jeanne and I were born only 14 months apart, but by the time we were teenagers we had lost touch. By age 19, I had moved away from our home in Wisconsin to live on my father's horse farm in Virginia. Jeanne got married at 18 and moved to Chicago. We lived separate lives, and our connection somehow ended. Fast-forward about five years. I was 24 and on a trip with my fiancé to New York City, a place I had never been. It was overwhelming. I was used to riding my horse to the comer store where everyone knew everyone and everything going on in the quiet little town of Driver, Virginia. We went to Little Italy, the Statue of Liberty, Chinatown, and several Manhattan clubs. I had never seen so many taxicabs in one spot in my life. During a day of sightseeing, we were crossing a very busy street loaded with people. Everyone was in a hurry, hustling and bustling. I had laughed at something my fiancé said, and I suddenly heard my name yelled from somewhere behind me: “Cheryl!” I froze in my steps in the middle of the road. Tears welled up uncontrollably in my eyes. I knew without a doubt that it was my sister Jeanne. I yelled back before even turning to look, “Jeanne?” It was her. “Oh my God!” I screamed, and I began pushing people out of my way to get to her. The crowd started to part—even by New York standards, we must have seemed crazy. And there we were, standing in the middle of a Manhattan street, facing each other and smiling. I later asked how she'd known it was me—she never saw me! She said it was my laugh. I wouldn't say my laugh is all that unusual, but I guess to a family member it's infectious. It hits your heart and echoes in your mind. Since that time, my sister and I have never been separated. We both moved back to Wisconsin. We talk daily. Many years have passed, and we are now in our 50s. Our meeting by chance wasn't just a sign. I see it as more of a lesson, a reminder not to lose touch with loved ones. 24. What can we infer about the author according to Paragraph 2? A. Riding was her favorite way of travelling. B. She was shocked to see the scenes in New York. C. She was a big figure in the little town of Driver. D. The sightseeing didn't leave her a deep impression. 25. The author mentions “even by New York standards" in Paragraph 4 to . A. compare different people's reactions B. emphasize how excited they were then C. show how crazy people are in New York D. state she has known more about the city life 26. In the author's eyes, why could her sister recognize her laugh? A. Because the street was quiet enough. B. Because it had some particular features. C. Because it stayed in her sister's memory. D. Because they were apart for only 14 months. 27. What's the best title for the text? A. Life: A Journey Full of Wonders B. Family: A Source of Happiness C. Laugh: The Most Familiar Sound D. Hometown: The Destination of Our Life C Generative AI must seem like a superweapon to people who aim to cause disagreement and argument online. Deep-fake videos imitate public figures. Crowds of conversational chatbots worsen conflict and efforts to detect and relieve such campaigns remain in their early period. But can Generative AI also negotiate confict? Chris Bail, a leading expert on artificial intelligence and human behavior, and his colleagues have conducted research indicating that Large Language Models such as ChatGPT can make online conversations more productive, reduce incivility, and increase willingness to have difficult conversations across social disagreements. What’s more, they’re already seeing practical applications. Inspired by such research, Nextdoor, a community-based social-media platform that has struggled to boycott online poison, recently launched a successful, large-scale (大规模的) effort to reduce incivility. In a study recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Chris Bail and his team examined whether Large Language Models can teach people conflict-negotiation techniques on a large scale. They enlisted a large group of people with different opinions about gun control and paired them to discuss this topic with someone who does not share their view on an online chat platform the team built. After exchanging several messages on their platform, half of the research participants began to receive pop-up messages suggesting alternative phrasings for the messages they were about to send to their chat partner. These pop-ups employed GPT-3 to rephrase each post using conflict negotiation principles — without changing the opinion expressed within them. Participants had the option to send these rephrased versions of their message or ignore them. The researchers found that GPT-3 is surprisingly good at processing difficult conversations. People whose partner used the AI-generated re-phrasings described the conversations as more productive, less stressful, and expressed greater willingness to consider alternative viewpoints. 28. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs? A. GenAI can be used in wars. B. GenAI can stop online incivility. C. GenAI can be used to deal with conflict online. D. GenAI can make conversations more difficult. 29. What did Chris Bail’s team aim to do in a recent study? A. To build their online chat platform. B. To share ideas on their own platform. C. To collect different ideas about gun control. D. To test the function of Large Language Models. 30. How does GPT-3 help process difficult conversations? A. By ignoring rephrased messages. B. By making choices for the participants. C. By changing the opinions of participants. D. By expressing the messages in a different way. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. People Share Ideas on Gun Control B. A New Study About Practical Applications C. GenAI Cause Disagreement And Argument Online D. GenAI Could Make Online Conversations More Civil D Search and rescue teams are often accompanied by man’s best friend. A dog’s superior sense of smell can be of importance to finding survivors buried(埋) under fallen buildings. But now a new animal is being trained to assist search and rescue teams after an earthquake hits, and it’s the rat. These rescue rats are being trained by Dr. Donna Kean, a researcher from Glasgow, Scotland who has been working with rats for years. Kean explained why she and her colleagues at the nonprofit APOPO train rats instead of dogs. “The rats have a comparable sense of smell, and they’re just as trainable as dogs,” she said. “Their size is useful because they will be able to move through different environments that dogs just wouldn’t be able to.” At the moment, the rats are wearing homemade prototype backpacks (背包) that contain microphones, video equipment, and location trackers, and then scientists are sending these rats into mock debris (模拟的废墟). Rats would be able to get into small spaces to get to victims (受害者) buried in the ruins. “We have not been in a real situation yet, we have got a mock debris site. When we track the backpack, we will be able to hear from where the rat is inside the debris,” Kean said. “We have the potential to speak to victims through the rat.” Researchers train them on a basic series of behaviour. Training starts off in a really basic environment: a small and empty room. Then they gradually expand and increase the complexity(复杂性) in order to make it like real life. They can start adding in debris and making the training area look more like an actual collapsed building site. The training just started, and researchers still have to run training trials(实验) outside the research environment. They are working with a search and rescue group called GEA, who are based in Turkey, a country with frequent earthquakes and hoping that by next year they’ll be able to take the rats to Turkey for trials. 32. What advantage do rats have over dogs in the rescue work? A. They are easier to train. B. They have a better sense of smell. C. They are more flexible with a smaller size. D. They adapt to new environments more quickly. 33. What does the underlined word “comparable” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. impressive. B. suitable. C. unique. D. similar. 34 What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The process of training the rats. B. The difficulty of conducting experiments. C. The rats’ behaviour in real collapsed sites. D. The importance of the research environment. 35. What will scientists plan to do next? A. Use rats for rescue work in large numbers. B. Send rats to Turkey for field experiments. C. Carry out further study on disaster prevention. D. Develop the tracking technology to assist GEA. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Birdwatching is a fun hobby for many people. ___36___ They take photos and record the birds’ sounds to learn about their behavior.

Eartha’s Grandma had been practising yoga for more than 50 years, who could twist, bend and curl her body with ease. She could even stand on her hands and pull her body into different poses. “Eartha, your name means ‘patience’.You need patience for yoga,” said her Grandma. Like many schools in the country,Eartha’ s school held an annual yoga competition. Eartha wanted to make her Grandma proud. But she could hardly stand on one leg. Grandma returned to the kitchen.Eartha kept practicing hard. She stood straight, her arms at her sides. She moved her hands and knees, arching her back. All of these poses were easy,while the competition was certain to be harder. So she tried more challenging poses, lying on her stomach and pushing up on her hands. Her arms soon got tired and she collapsed to the floor. Eartha wandered into the kitchen. “Finished already?” asked Grandma. “It’s hard,” Eartha said. “How did you get to be so strong?” Grandma smiled. “Patience.” The next morning, Eartha felt ached and sore all over the body. Her legs hurt so badly from the poses she practiced that she even wanted to quit. However, her grandmother’s words echoed in her mind, and she held the pose for a longer time. Each day Eartha would practice anew pose, before going over the poses she had practiced the previous few days.With the date of the competition approaching, she started to feel stronger and more flexible. Her arms and legs stopped trembling. The day of the yoga competition arrived as expected. In the gym, Eartha lay on her back with her knees bent and placed her hands on the floor behind her. Everything went smoothly. Just then,so eager was she to win Grandma’s pride that her poses displayed a mix of impatience, and rigidness. Eartha fell on the mat, which cost her edge over other competitors. A bell rang, ending the first half of the competition. 1.续写词数应为150左右: 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Thinking she ruined all because of impatience, Eartha looked at the audience for Grandma. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Calm and confident, Eartha stepped on the stage for the second half of the competition. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
